produced by its mother egg.
2007 5 46 230=225+5
a1=a1+b1+c1...n1/n
a2=a2+b2+c2...n1/n Faculty of Quant’s:
a3=a3+b3+c3...n1/n etc
So nk= (a1+b1+c1)+(a2+b2+c2..)+
(a3+b3+c3...)/n
Therefore n 2 k is the total weight of all

x = 5litres. 6. Since the ratio of no. of female and
male employees is 4: 7 so, the ratio of
2. Go through options. no. of employees must be the multiples
90* 2 + 85 *4 = 520 of 11. Hence the possible answer is 231.
If 2 wheelers be 90 then the four 21 32

will be, 85 = (175 - 90) 4 7

3. Go through the options: 7. Since the ratio of car sold at profit of

30 *50 + 50*20= 2500paisa 9% to the 36% is 19: 8. Hence the no. of
Alternatively: cars sold at 36% profit is 32.
Since the average price of a coin, 9 36
= 2500 / 80 17
= 31.25 paisa
20 50 19 8

31.25 8. Hence each girl receives 50 paisa and

each boy receives 10 paisa and the
18.75 11.25 average receiving of each student
So the ratio of no. of 20 paisa coins to = 6900 / 115 = 60 paisa
the no. of 5o Paisa coins 50 100

 40 10 Now we know that if he mixes the spirit
(G) 4 : (B) 1 (worth Rs.40) with petrol (worth Rs. 60)
Thus the no. of girls = 92, the cost price of mixture must be less
Number of boys = 23 than Rs.60, which is impossible. Hence
there is no spirit with the petrol.
9. Profit = 12.5% = 1/8
Hence the ratio of water to spirit is 1: 8 15. -6 15
Since the ratio of water to spirit is 1: 8 9
Since profit% = profit = (profit / 6 15

So the total quantity of milk in mixture = Total amount of alcohol out of 10 liters
105=56+80=241 mixture is 0.5+2.4=2.9 liter
So the total amount of water in mixture Hence the concentration of the mixture is

Profit Loss and Discount:

1. Just a sitter but a logical problem.

CP of 5 bikes = 67500 + 232500 =
300000
Now, since we require 17.5% profit, so
Thus the ratio of CP of A : B : C
SP = 300000 x (117.5/100) =Rs. 352500
7: 8: 4
(8 + 9 + 5) – (7 + 8 + 4) *
2. CP = 100, SP (with tax) = 120
100
New SP = 100 – 5 = 95
% profit = (7 + 8 + 4)
Therefore, Effective discount = 120 -
= (3/19) x 100 = 15.78%
95 = 25
So, at SP of 95 → discount = 25 and
7. A B C M
at SP of 3325 → discount = 25/95 x
3325 = 875

3. Let the CP of a bicycle = Rs. 100

Now, since profit 140%
Therefore, SP = 240
Now, 7 bicycles are being sold instead if Loss of A = 143 – 120 =23
1 bicycle, but the sale price of new % loss of A = (23/100) x 100 =
bicycle = Rs. 120 23%
Therefore total sale price of new sale of
bicycles 8. Total wages = no. of employees x
= 7*120 = 840 and the CP=7*100 =700 wage per employee
So, the new profit = 840 – 700 = Rs. 140 60xy = 3 x * 20y
Since the initial profit is same as the new 54xy= 2x * 27y
so there is no increase in percentage. Profit (%) = (60-54) / 60 x 100 =
10%

10. Ratio of profit of A : B
CP: SP CP: SP
(Excluding commission of A) = 3: 5
37: 50 37: 24
Now the share of profit of B =3600–
Profit % = (13/37) x 100 and
1800=Rs.1800
Loss % = (13/37) x 100
So the share of profit of A (including
Since Profit = Loss
commission) = Rs. 1080
Hence option (d) is correct.
So the commission of A = 1800 – 1080 =
720
6.
Then the required % = (720 x 100) / SP=99
3600 = 20% So, initially market price=100 8,
00,000
11. Profit % = 25/100 = (120 + k) Final sale price = 99 7, 92,000
(Profit) / 880 (save) → K = 100
Therefore, net profit % = (100 x 100) / 16. Price of 10 chairs = 10*200=2000
1000 = 10% Price of 12 chairs (without discount)=
12*200 =2400
12. SP = 12/ 11 of CP Price of 12 chairs with discount
48 = 12/11 of CP → CP = 44 = 10*200 + 2*80= 2160
Now, by allegation Therefore discount= 2400 – 2160 = 240
Hence discount % = (240/2400) *100 =
10%

17. Amount paid in 1st service = 100

39. Maximum probable number of circles

= 8C3
( Since a circle can pass through any
three non- collinear points)
But since 4 points are lie on the same
circle so which reduces the formation of
some circles.
Actual number of circles =8C3- 4C3+1
=56-4+1 =53
40 .Here, AC and BC are the secants of
the circle and AB is tangent at D
AE X AC = AD2
AE X 4 = (3)2 => AE = 9/4
CE = 4 – (9/4) = 7/4
CE : (AE + AD )= 7/4 : [ (9/4) + 3]
= (7/4) : (21/4) = 1 : 3

41.∠ADO is a right angle (angle of

semicircle) Again when OD AP = 12 cm and SP = 7 cm
perpendicular on the chord AC and OD (PSR and QBR and PAR are similar)
passes through the centre of the circle AS (= BQ) = 12 – 7 = 5 cm
ABC, then it must bisect the chord AC at PS/SQ = PA/AR
D. 7/25 = 12/AR => A = 300/7
AD = CD = 6cm BR = AR – AB= 300/7 – 25
BR = 125/7
AB/BR = 25 * 7/125 = 7/5

6/ BE = x2 + y2 + z2 – xy – yz –zx=0
√3/2 2( x2 + y2 + z2 – xy –yz –zx) = 0
BE = 4√3 (x2 + y2)+(y2+z2)+(z2+x2) –2xy–2yz–2zx
cm =0
BC = BE + CE= 4√3 + 5√3 = 9√3 cm ( x –y)2 + ( y – z)2 + (z –x)2 = 0
Now, since AB and CB are the secants of x = y =z
the circle The given triangle is an equilateral
BD * BA = BE * BC triangle
6 * BA = 4√3 * 9√3
BA = 18 cm 46. Let AD = 3a and DC = 6a
Again ACB is a right angled triangle DH = HG = GC = 6a/3 = 2a
AC = AB sin 300 HM = MG = 2a/2 = a= SM
AC = 9 cm (Alternatively apply NQ = a
Pythagoras theorem) SQ = SM + MN + NQ
And AD = AB – BD = 12 cm A + 3a + a= 5a
AC/AD = 9/12 = ¾ Since diagonal of square SQ = 5a

43. AB = SQ = 25 cm
PQ = 24 cmSP = 7 cm
 = ¼( 17 – 12 √2)

49. Apply the same logic as in the

previous problem.

50.( Area of Δ ABC / Area of Δ AED) =

( BC / 0.65 BC)2 = ( 1/ 0.4225)
Area of Δ AED = 0.4225 X 68 = 28.73

51. Let the radius of each circle be r

units then
PQ = QR = PR = 2r
∠PDM = ∠QEN = 30°
But, diameter of circle SQ = diagonal of
square SQ
Radius of the circle 5a/2
Area of the circle = Π * (5a/2)2
Here Area of circle/Area of rectangle
= 25/4( a2 Π)/3a * 6a = 25 Π/72

47. Area of hexagon ABCDEF = 6*√3/4 * Again (PM / AM) = tan 30° = 1/ √3
(6)2 r/ AM = 1/ √3
54√3 cm2 AM = r√3 = BN
Area of BDF = ½ ( Area of hexagon) AB = AM + MN + NB
=27√3 cm2 = r√3 + 2r + r√3 = 2r ( 1 + √3)
AB = BC = AC = 2r ( 1 + √3)
48. OA = AB = BC = OC = OP Ratio of equilateral triangle = ratio of
Let OA = R (radius of the larger circle) their sides
then OB = R√2 Ratio of perimeter of Δ ABC : ΔDEF :
Similarly PQ = MQ = QR = r( Radius of ΔPQR
smaller circle) = 2 ( 1+ √3 ) : ( 2 + + √3) : 2
Then BQ = r√2
BP = r + √2

52. Δ APQ ~ Δ ACB, BC = 2PQ and BC ||

PQ
AE = 2AF
And BP = OB – OP = R√2 – R AE = EF Again Δ RGH ~ ΔRPQ
R√2 - R = r + r√2 And PQ = 2GH
R(√2 – 1) = r(√2 + 1) ( by the mid – point theorem)
R = (√2 – 1)2 RJ = 2Rk
R = ( 3 - 2√2) RK = JK
Area of larger circle/Area of smaller But since EF = JK
triangle = Π R2/4 Πr2 AE = EF = JK = RK
R2/4(3 - 2√2)2 R2 RJ = RK + JK and AF = AE + EF
RJ = AF =h( say) AM = √ AP2 + PM2
Then (Area of ΔPQR / area of Δ ABC) AM = 1300 m
=( ½ X PQ X h)/( ½ * BC*h)= PQ / BC = ½ Total distance to be travelled = AM +
MN + NC
= 1300 + 300 + 2500

55.Let AD = h (say)
Then Area of Δ ABC = (1/2) bc sin 120°
= (√3/4) bc
Area of Δ BAD =( ½) ch sin 60°
= (√3/4) ch
And Area of Δ CAD = (1/2) bh sin
60°=(√3/4) bh
Now, A (ΔABC) = A (ΔBAD) + A(ΔCAD)
53. It can be solved using the property of (√3/4) bc = (√3/4) ch + (√3/4) bh
tangents. (Tangents on the circle drawn  bc = h (b + c)
from the same points are same in length)  h = (bc) / b + c
Points M , A , N and B are the points of

ELEMENTS OF ALGEBRA:
54. Let MN be the bridge 1. If x + y + z is constant, the product
Δ APM ~ Δ ABC xyz takes maximum value when each of
(AP/PM) = (AB/BC) x, y, z takes equal value.
(500/PM) = (1500/ 3600) a + b + c =13
PM = 1200 = QN = BR (a – 3) + (b – 2) + (c + 1) = 13 – 3 + 1=9
For the maximum value of ( a – 3)(b – 2)
(c + 1)
=(a – 3)=(b – 2)=(c + 1)=9/3=3
So, ( a – 3)(b – 2)(c + 1)= 3*3*3=27

2. If xyz is constant, then the sum of x, y,

z (i,e x + y + z) takes minimum value
when each of x, y, z takes equal values.
Minimum value of a + b + c + d for
given constant product abcd will be
when a = b = c =d
a = b = c =d = 3 + 3 + 3 + 3=12
RC = BC – BR = 2400m
And NR = BQ = 700m 3. For x < 0, x + 1/x > 2
NC = √ NR2 + RC2 And for , < 0, x+1/x< 2
NC = 2500 m
 y+z=4–x
and y2 + z2 = 6 –x2
yz = ½ [ ( y + z)2 –( y2 + z2) ]
= I / 2 [ (4 - x2 ) – ( 6 - x2)]
yz = x2 – 4x +5
hence y and z are the roots of
t2 – ( 4 - x)t + (x2 -4x +5) = 0
Since the roots y and z are real
( 4 - x)2 – 4 (x2 – 4x +5) ≥ 0
3x2 – 8x + 4 ≤ 0
(3x – 2) ( x - 2) ≤ 0
x ε [ 2/3 , 2]
by symmetry y and z also ε [ 2/3 , 2]

4. This is the standard inequality 11. 1/x2 + 1/y2 = (x2 + y2)/(xy)2

7. x>0 and y>u +1/c )>=(abc)1/3(1/abc)1/3 =1
Therefore, (x+y)[(1/x)+(1/y)] 2+ x/y (a+b+c)1/3(1/a +1/b +1/c )>=9
+y/x Putting a=b=c=1, expression takes the
=2+[k+ 1/k], value 9, which is therefore, its least
Where k=x/y value.
Since the minimum value of the
expression [k+1/k] is 2. 13. If ab is constant, then (a + b) takes
Therefore, Minimum value of the minimum value when a = b, a=b=1
given expression is 4. ( 1 +a) ( 1 + b) = (1 + 1) (1 + 1) = 4

8. If a + b + c + d is constant then the 14. [ ( a + b + c) ( ab + bc + ac)] / abc

product abcd is maximum =
when a = b = c = d. ( a + b + c) [ ( ab / abc) + (bc/abc)
( a + 1) = ( b + 1) = ( c + 1 ) = ( d + 1) (ac/abc) ]
Given that ( a + 1) + ( b + 1)+( c + 1 ) = (a + b + c) (1/c + 1/b + 1/a)
+( d + 1) = 8 = (a + b + c) (1/c + 1/b + 1/a)
4 ( a + 1) = 8 >9
( a + 1) = 8 (see the problem number 12 in this
Maximum value = 2* 2 * 2 * 2 = 16 exercise)

9. As x + y + z = 1 15. The expression will have minimum

[ ( 1/x) – 1 ] [ ( 1/y) - 1 ] [( 1/z) - 1] = value of the expression when a =b=c
(y+z/x) . ( z+x/y) . (x+y/z) Therefore the required minimum value
(y + z)/2 ≥ yz etc = [(1+1+1)/1] * [ (1+1+1) /1]
Hence LHS ≥ 8xyz/xyz = 8 *[ ( 1+1+1)/1]= 27

10. As x + y + z = 4 and As x2 + y2 + 16. max(x/y) = max(x) / max(y) = 2/3

z2 = 6
17. 1/a + 1/b +1/c= 1 23. Let x and y be the number of deer
(bc + ac + ab) / abc =1 and ducks respectively.
bc + ac + ab = abc x+y = 14 and ……………….(1)
again (a + b + c)2 = a2 + b2 + c2+2( ab 4x + 2y = 38 ………………….(2)
+ bc +ac) (A deer has 4 legs and a duck has 2
(a + b + c)2 = a2 + b2 + c2 + 2abc legs)
(3)2 = 6 + 2abc => abc = 3/2 By solving the above two equations (1)
and (2) , we get
18. 2x = 4y = 8z => 2x =22y = 23z x= 5 qnd y=9
x= 2y= 3z = k(say) Thus the number of deer is 5.
then xyz = k3 /6 =288 => k = 12
x =12, y=6, z=4 24. Going through the options, we find
1/2x + 1/4y + 1/8z = 11/96 that option (d) is correct i.e.,

19. a =cz
=> a = (by)z
=> a = byz
=> a = (a)yz
=> a = axyz
=> a1 = axyz No. of
xyz = 1 vehicles no.of tyres

20. 7x + 2y = 220 25. Go through the options. Let us

7x = 220 – 12y consider option d.
x= (220 – 12y) / 7 = 4(55 – 3y) / 7
it means 55 – 3y must be divisible by 7,
since 4 is not divisible by 7.
At y = 2,9,16
We get x = 28.16,4 thus we have
three solutions of x,y
( x,y ) = ( 28,2), ( 16,9) ,

a x+y+z = ( x + y + z)x+y+z
a=x+y+z 26. Let us assume option a is correct
( x + y + z)y = ax = ( x + y + z)x Then the no. of coolers =150000/3000 =
x= y 50
Similarly y = z and z = x
x = y = z = a/3

22. Let x/a = y/b = z/c = k

x = ak, y = bk, z = ck
( x + y + z) = k (a + b + c)
( x + y + z)2 = k2 (a + b + c)2
x + y + z2 + 2( xy + yz + zx) = k2 (a
2 2 The number of coolers = 50

2( xy + yz + zx) =k2(a + b + c)2 - ( x2 Thus the assumed option a is correct

xy+yz+zx =k2 / 2 (a +b+c)2 -1/ 2 ( x2 + 27. Let us assume option c, then,
y2 + z 2 )
[ x2 (a + b + c) – a2 ( x2 + y2 + z2 )] /

 ( 5 X 1) + ( 2 X 20) = 45 ≠ 43
(43 = 48 - 5)
800
( 5 X 2 ) + ( 2 X 19) = 48≠ 43
250
(21 = 26 - 5)
Option c: If we take 7 coins of Re.1, then
Thus the 5 X 1 + 2 X 18 = 41 = 41
assumed option c is correct. (48 – 7 = 41)
( 26 – 7 = 19)
28. Thus the option c is correct.
Step 1: 20 X 7 = 14 32. go through options.
Step 2: 176 – 140 = 36
Step 3: 36 /3 = 12 -> weight of
mangoes initially THEORY OF EQUATION:
Step 4: 20 – 12 = 8 -> weight of
apples initially 1. Best way is to go through options.
Number of mangoes = 12 X 10 = 120 Consider option (b)
Number pf apples = 8 X 7 = 56

log3 3 −2 log 81 9
|3 4−1| =(3 4−1)7
Again since she is left with 13kg pf 8
log 3 3 −log81 81
mangoes and apples containing 121 |80| =( 80)7
fruits (176 – 55 = 12) 8log33 – log81 81 = 7
Step 1: 13 X 7 = 91 8-1 =7
Step 2: 121 – 91 = 30 Hence option b is correct
Step 3: 30/3 = 10 -> weight of mangoes
Step 4: 13 – 10 = 3 -> weight of apples 2. Putting x=1/y, we get
Thus the number of apples left with 27 y3 + 54y2 + cy -10 =0
vendor = 3 X7 = 21 This above eq. (i) must be in AP.
Let the roots of equation in y be
29. Since we know that Ritika has α-β,α,α+β (roots are in AP)
purchased 2kg mangoes and 5kg apples. Σ α =α-β+α+α+β=3α
Thus she spent (2 X 35 + 5 X 40) = 3α= -54/27 => α=-2/3
Rs.45. Now α=-2/3 will satisfy the eq. (i) we get
27 * -8 /27 + 54 * 4/9 - 2c/3 – 10 =0
30. C=9

SP …….. 35 40  |x+y| = 10 ………..1
CP …….. 30 30 Again, log10 y – log10 |x| = log100 4
New SP…… 40 35 Log10 y – log10 |x| = log10 2
Log 10 y/|x| = log10 2
Therefore CP = 30 * 10 + 30 *3 = 390 Y = 2|x| …………….2
And new SP = 40 * 10 + 35 * 3 = 505 From eq. (2) we can conclude that y is
Profit = 505 – 390 = 115 always positive.
Profit % = 115/390 * 100 = 29.48% Now, when x>0 and y>0 (always)
|x+y| = 10 => |x+2|x||=10
31. Solving with the help of options: In X+2|x|=10
this type of questions we start with least X+2x=10
valued options and tend towards higher X=10/3
valued options. Y= 20/3
Option a: If we take 4 coins of Re.1, then Again , x<0 and y> 0 (always positive)
( 5 X 1) + ( 2 X 21) = 47 ≠ 43 ( 48 - |-x+2|-x|| =10
4 = 44) |-x+2x|=10
( 5 X 2 ) + ( 2 X 20) = 50≠ 44 and |x|=10
( 26 – 4 = 22) X=-10
Option b: If we take 5 coins of Re.1, then Y=20
Hence , x=-10, y=20 and x=10/3 and y (1/27) + (-d2/3) = - γ
= 20 /3 Γ = d3/3 – 1/27
γ≥-1/27
4. 2log2 log2 x + log1/2log 2(22x) =1 Hence option (a) is correct.

(log2x)2 -2log2x-3=0 8.Let us consider some value of p=3
log2 x=-1 or log2 x=3 (say), then
X=1/2 or X=8 x2 – 4x +1
But for x=1/2, log2 log2(1/2)is undefined And (α,β) = 2±√3 (α,β are

Then (X2+4X+3)+2x+5=0 statement you put n=1,2,3 …. Etc in
X=-2 and x=-4 eq(i)
But x=-2 does not satisfy eq 1 Similarly for p=4,5,6 ……. Etc. we can
x2+4x+3<0 conclude the same results.
Then -(X2+4X+3)+2x+5=0 9. Just assume some values of α,β
X=-1-√ 3 or x=-1+√ 3 conforming the basic constraints of the
But only x=-1-√ 3satisfies the eq. 2. problem .
Hence the solution set of x is (-4,-1-√ 3). e.g., α=-2,β=8, then the equation
Alternatively, check the option by becomes x2 -6x – 16
substituting the values from the options b=-6 and c=-16
given in the question. 1+ c/a + | b/a | = 1- 16 +6 =-9
The value of the expression is negative;
6. X1,x2,x3 are in A.P hence choice (a) is correct
X1= a-d, x2=a, x3= a+d
Where d is common difference 10. Since p and q are the roots of given
Now, since x1,x2,x3 are root of given equation x2+px+q=0
equation Then p+q=-p
X3-x2-βx+γ=c q=-2p
So, Σα = x1+ x2 +x3=1 pq=q
(a-d)+a+(a+d)= 1 p=1
………………(1) so, when p=1,then q=-2
Σαβ= x1x2+x1x3+x2x3 Again ,when q=0,then p=0 hence,
β=(a-d)a+a(a+d)+(a-d)(a+d) P=1,0 and q=-2,0
………………..(2) Thus option (b) is most appropriate.
And Σ=αβγ=x1x2x3= -γ=(a-d)(a)(a+d)
…………………(3) 11. p,q,r are in AP.
hence from 1 we get a=1/3

(p/r-7)2>=48 X=7 +√5 /2 >4 and 7 -√5 /2 <3
(p/r-7)>=4√ 3 Hence only option d is satisfied, hence
correct.
12. The given equation is |x-2|2+|x-2|-
2=0. 17. Αβ=p and γβ=q
Let us assume|x-2|=m Now since α,β,γ,δ are in GP and integral
M2+m-2=0 values. So option b abd c are ruled out as
(m-1)(m-2)=0 they have no required integral factors.
Only admission value is Now let us look for option (a). We see
M=1 that
|x-2|=1 αβ= -2 = -1*2
x-2=1 γδ= -32=-4*8
x=3 So, -1, 2, -4 ,8 are in GP satisfying the
-(x-2)=1 above conditions. Again in option (d) the
X=1 two values don’t have the factors with
X=1,3 common ratio, hence its wrong and
Sum of the roots of equation=1+3=4. hence option a is correct.
18. When this problem will be solved by
13. Just consider an option, and then algebraic methods, it will take too much
substitute the values of A and B from time to solve beyond the normal required
assumed option, if the roots p,q,r,s are in time so the best way to get the correct
A.P.,then the presumed option is correct, and quick answer is to assume some
else not. simple roots then go through option
Thus we get option a,b and c are
incorrect, hence D is the Answer. 19. Let us consider choice a. when we
put the values of A and B respectively,
14. Let f(x) =x2 – 2ax + a2 + a -3 we get the values of α,β,γ and δ as -1 ,
Since f(x) has real roots both less 1/3,1/5,1/3, which are not in HP. So this
than 3, therefore, D>0 and f(3)>0 option is correct .Now for our
A2-(a2 + a-3) > 0 convenience we consider choice C. then
A2 – 5a+6 > 0 by substituting the values of A and B, we
A<3 and (a-2) ( a-3)>0 get the values of α,β,γ and δ as 1,1/2,1/3
A<3 and a<2 or a>3 and ¼ which are in the HP. Hence this
A<2 could be the correct choice.

15. Considering the given constraints in 20. Assume some convenient and
the problem. Let us consider α,β = (-3,2) appropriate values of a,b,c as
Then the given equation becomes A=3, b=4, c=6,
X2 + x – 6=0 Then (x-3)(x-4)-6=0
B=1 and c=-6 X2-7X+6=0
Now, we check for the givem choices, Α=6,β=1

Hence maximum 55% (100 – 45) people
can read Urdu newspaper. 6. α+β+γ = 68
Solution for question number 2 -5 : α+2β+3γ=(38 +26+36) = 100
and γ=11
(α+2β+3γ)-[( α+β+γ)+γ] = β+γ

we get
a= 30,
b=18, 7. Since we don’t know how many
c=32 students failed in all three subjects,
again questions cannot be answered. Hence
(a+x+k+z) – (a+k) = (x+z) (d).
8. (a+b+c) = 80- [ (15+15+10)+(10)] =

80 cars were decorate with music
system means at least 40 cars were

Now, Since
B=k+y 6-z >z zε(0,1,2,3 .....)

X+k+z=10
From eq. (3) and (5), we obtain 28. See the venn diagram shown in

Hence, we can find the exact number of
volunteers involved in various projects.

29. Initially:

Again 7+(6-z)+4+z+
(y+4)+y+8=37
Y=4
